It's been brought to our attention today that the Humane Society in Conroe will be closing its doors tomorrow. In an effort to avoid any of the animals being put down, they are offering free adoptions. Go find yourself a furry friend and give a deserving animal a home.

From local Houston headlines, we bring you these weekend news bits...
Have we got your attention? Hope so, because this is some kinda big and important news! Yes, it IS bigger than the final settlement reached in the matter of Fed-X vs. That Bald Chick (the whole issue of "who's the better parent" makes us rush out for a BC Powder and a tequila shot, or three). Seriously, this Saturday marks the world premiere of "Tuna Does Vegas", starring Jaston Williams and Tony-Award winning Joe Sears,...
Good morning, Houston. As we prepare for the rain chance to increase again — yeah, sorry, we hate to be the bearers of bad news — we're stopping for a second to realize just how much it's rained so far this month. Officially, we've had 8.34 inches of rain so far in July, smashing the 2.34-inch average for the month and making this the eighth-wettest July on record. And there's still a week left...
Good morning, Houston. You might want to grab a drink before you get started on this morning's news: According to KHOU, a shift toward growing corn in Mexico could lead to a spike in the price of tequila. It seems a lot of Mexican farmers are getting rid of their blue agave fields to make way for corn, which is in demand thanks to the growing popularity of ethanol — and as the amount...
Beginning tomorrow, the ladies of the Houston Roller Derby will be busy, busy!!! Now, to keep the action moving, these ladies practice quite often (we think it's like three or four times per week, we are not certain - don't quote us on that!), but, they are gearing up to give Houston some love! Beginning tomorrow at 8:30 in the a.m. the ladies will be accepting donations/non-perishables at the Kroger at Buffalo Speedway and Westpark...
Good morning, Houston. We assume you're still recovering from last night's State of the Union drinking game and National Pie Day celebrations, so we won't waste any time with introductory nonsense — except to note that today is National Peanut Butter Day (not to be confused with National Peanut Butter Lovers' Day, which comes around March 1, or National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day on April 2). Try not to get too crazy. >>...
Houstonist likes pets and pet charities (animals in general - really. Well, iffy on the reptiles - that's just us). We advocate promoting pet adoption, spaying/neutering or just hooking up a homeless pet with a meal, worthy causes, all. To that end, we are bringing to your attention a wine and warm fuzzy event benefiting animals. Houston PetSet, along with the Houston Humane Society, is hosting a wine tasting at The Tasting Room Midtown...
Tom DeLay said today he will withdraw from the congressional race to allow Republicans to run a write-in candidate in November Federal officials are looking into the bus fire that claimed the lives of 23 nursing home residents during last year's Rita evacuation determine whether buses are safe for people with special needs Four penguins and a load of exotic fish died today when the truck carrying them to Moody Gardens overturned on an East...
About 300 Pit Bulls from a single home in Liberty County are being seized today. The home is the location of a suspected dog fighting ring, and also the site of a fatal home invasion.
A cat named Molly from the Houston Humane Society began competing yesterday in what is either a genius or awful move in reality programming. Meow Mix cat food sent Molly, as well as 9 other cats, to New York to live together in a house where they'll be voted off by viewers watching a webcast.
One of the most disturbing and heartbreaking images from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina were the pets who were left to wander the city and die if they weren't rescued. Not because their owners wanted to leave them there, but because they had no choice. At the time, people evacuating were not allowed to bring their pets and had to decide whether to risk their lives and stay with their animals or to leave them...
Perhaps Houstonist was naive in thinking animal shelters were safe places, or maybe (more likely) we'd just never thought about it, but in either case we almost cried in our Cap'n Crunch this morning when we read about the euthanasia rate in Houston's major shelters. A city task force has been looking at the number of animals who are killed rather than being put up for adoption: More than 80,000 animals that entered the area's...
